Selecting A Burns First Aid Kit

Burns Kits comprise of everything you could possibly need to adequately treat a scorch related injury in the workplace. They make a great addition to any commercial first aid package and should be considered integral when kitting out company first aid rooms. Burns kits take the stress out of knowing what to do in the moment of crisis when someone has suffered a burn or been scalded by boiling liquid.

Not only do they feature key products you might need for on the spot first aid; such as hydrogel dressings, bandages and other medical accessories they also have clear, effective, easy to follow guidelines on what to do when someone has been injured in this way.

The CoolTherm Professional Burns Kit is supplied in an attractive soft carry box, which is easy to store and transport. Despite its flexibility, it is highly durable and moisture resistant, as well as being insulated from sunlight and low temperatures, so that all the items inside are properly protected. This option includes not only the soothing gels, dressings and protective bandages you would expect, but also protective gloves and shears in case you need to rapidly clothing the affected persons; in order to apply effective relief. It also comes with a guidance card so that untrained persons can properly attend to the injured party - perfect for home as well as business use.

Even more comprehensive is the First Aid for Burns Equipment Bundle. This bundle package is designed to be used by a trained first aider, rather than a general worker and should therefore only be used in workplaces where trained first aiders are present. Nevertheless, it still comes with an A4 poster with clear, concise instructions on how best to use the materials provided, as well as a First Aid sign that should be placed prominently in view so that all workers know where the first aid supplies with burns kit is kept.

FAQ

What Is Burns First Aid?

Burns first aid is the specialist first aid treatment of either a burn or scald type injury. Whilst burns and scalds are slightly different - a burn is caused by dry heat such as touching an iron, whilst a scald is caused by a wet source, such as boiling water - treatment for the resulting wound is essentially the same.

A burns kit contents are different from a regular first aid solution. A first aid package for burn and scald wounds will contain specialist gels, coverings and accessories to make treatment of these injuries easy and effective.

Do I Need Burns First Aid Kits?

Every employer needs to have appropriate first-aid arrangements for their workplace, according to the HSE’s guide for employers on first aid kits. Not all workplaces will require a first aid kit for burns and scalds, but they are important for worksites that do have a risk of burns at the workplace occurring.

You must make appropriate first-aid arrangements for your workplace. In doing so you should consider the circumstances of your workplace, workforce and the health and safety risks that may be present to help you decide what arrangements you need to put in place.

What Employers Need To Do
HSE.gov.uk

Regarding employer responsibilities for other kinds of burns and the need to maintain a chemical burn first aid kit, the HSE has a number of guidelines on health and hazardous materials in the workplace. It is important for employers to stay up to date with best practices and governmental guidelines for keeping workers safe, responding to accidents and mitigating health hazards in risky working environments.

What To Do With Burns First Aid?

Whether it is a scald caused by hot water, chemical or acid exposure or a burn from something unique to a particular activity, like soldering or contact with a similarly hot surface; burns generally require the same basic treatments. To treat a burn with a burns first aid kit you should respond with a view to;

  1. Prevent further burning
    • This may mean moving the person away from the source of the burn, dousing flames with water or a blanket.
  2. Remove clothing and jewellery
    • Never remove anything that is stuck to the burn, as this may cause further damage
  3. Cool the wound
    • Either run the wound under cool water for 20 minutes or apply a cooling gel
    • Never use ice, ice-cooled liquids, creams or other greasy substances such as butter
  4. Keep warm
    • It sound counterintuitive but using a blanket or layers of clothing to keep the body warm helps prevent hypothermia - a particular peril for larger burns
  5. Dress the injury
    • A correctly applied dressing offers pain relief, as well as protection from infections and helps to manage drainage

At Seton we supply a comprehensive collection of burns first aid kit options, all of which include a wide range of cooling gels, coverings and bandages to make first aid for burns simple and effective.

How To Treat A Burn With First Aid Kit?

For the most part, a regular first aid kit will not include many of the products required to effectively treat burns and scalds. The types of medical products that form a first aid kit are designed to cope with everyday cuts, grazes and other minor ailments.

For this reason it is recommended to provide a specialist emergency burns kit in any location where there exists heightened risk to the safety of persons working nearby - such as a kitchen.

  • Burns gel

For maximum benefit, we strongly recommend only using products that contain hydrogel. Such as the Burnshield Hydrogel and Advanced Hydrogel Burn Plasters.

When selecting a burns treatment first aid kit, it is important to consider the specific needs of your workplace, as different burns first aid solutions have different supplies. It is also important to consider the size of the worksite and the scale of potential opportunity.

Seton’s BurnSoothe Burns Kits come in three different sizes, which range in size from being suitable for personal use up to extensive commercial use. For considerable workplaces or worksites that present a high level of burn hazards, Seton also offers BurnSoothe Kit Refills which contain the burn first aid kit essentials.

As with all first aid kits, it is essential that a number of employees are properly trained in first aid response and know what to do in the event of an emergency situation.

Where Are The Burns First Aid Kits Usually Located?

First aid kits for burns should be kept close, in an easily accessible location. No matter whether you use a box, station, room or cabinets located around your facility; It is important that employees know where the first aid kit burn treatment is kept and that they can access it quickly and easily in the event of a crisis.

You may wish to consider posting signs to direct individuals to their nearest burn treatment products. For more information and to order, take a look at our First Aid Location Signs.

First-aid kits should be made easily accessible. The contents of first-aid kit should be checked frequently and restocked soon after any use.
